Subject: [GENERAL] MySQL drops support for most distributions

"MySQL quietly deprecated support for most Linux distributions on October 16, 
when its 'MySQL Network' support plan was replaced by 'MySQL Enterprise.' 
MySQL now supports only two Linux distributions — Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. We learned of this when MySQL declined to 
sell us support for some new Debian-based servers. Our sales rep 'found out 
from engineering that the current Enterprise offering is no longer supported 
on Debian OS.' We were told that 'Generic Linux' in MySQL's list of supported 
platforms means 'generic versions of the implementations listed above'; not 
support for Linux in general."
